The alarmed Snowden Jones quickly reached for her phone and dialed the reception desk of the company.

Buzz…buzz…buzz…

Although the phone was connected, no one was answering it.

“What’s going on? Is anything happening at the company?” By this time, Old Madam Jones had already gotten up from the floor, anxiously asking with a sense of panic written all over her old face.

“Grandma, no one’s answering!” Snowden Jones said with a furrowed forehead, her face cast over with a cloud of gloom.

No one’s answering?

Old Madam Jones’s heart dropped. She said seriously, “It’s already past nine in the morning. The employees should be at work by now, how come no one’s answering the phone! ”

Witnessing the unusual situation, Old Madam Jones’s expression turned darker.

“Hurry! Snowden, call the employees on their private numbers. No matter what, we have to find out what’s going on!” Old Madam Jones ordered anxiously.

Snowden Jones nodded and quickly dialed her confidant’s number.

[You have reached a number that is currently unavailable, please try again later!]

Hearing the cold automated voice from the phone, Snowden Jones’s face paled.

She knew very well that if this was any other time, her calls, even in the wee hours of morning, would not be ignored.

But now, the call had ended up in a busy signal, indicating that her number likely had been blocked.

Whoosh!

The realization hit Snowden Jones, and a flash of anger darted across her face. “How dare they block my number?”

A livid Snowden Jones quickly found the contact’s WeChat, and sent a flurry of heated messages.

But this time, it was even worse. The messages were marked by a bright red exclamation point.

She was blocked on WeChat too!

whoosh!

At that moment, Snowden Jones finally realized that something was terribly wrong.

She rushed to check her company WeChat group and almost had a heart attack. What had once been a group of over a hundred company employees was now just her and her father, Will Jones. Everyone else had left the group!

This…

Seeing this, Snowden Jones was petrified on the spot.

Right after that, she hurriedly made several phone calls. Finally, in her tearful state, an employee answered her call.

However, as soon as they heard her voice, they were ready to hang up. They had clearly had answered by mistake.

Snowden Jones pleaded with the employee not to hang up the phone.

“Ms. Jones, I’ll be honest with you, all of us have been headhunted away, with double the salary and better benefits than the Jones Group.

I just started at my new company and even the cleaning lady from the Jones Group has been transferred for twice the salary, which is equivalent to a project associate’s salary at the Jones Group.

I can only tell you this much. If they find out I’m on the phone with you, they might fire me, goodbye…”

Whoosh!

After hearing this, Snowden Jones was almost choked with rage. Who the hell was targeting their Jones Family so ruthlessly?

To the point where they were even paying double salary to our cleaning staff? Were they trying to ruin the Jones Family?

Snowden Jones was shook and wanted to find her father, Will Jones, to understand the situation.

After all, Will Jones had a wider network than her, and perhaps he could find out some information.

But just then, Will Jones, who was still getting ready upstairs, lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs.

But he didn’t have time to cry out in pain, as his face was filled with a panic-stricken expression.

“Will, what is going on!? All the employees of the company are mysteriously disappearing. What kind of management are you doing!?” Old Madam Jones scolded indignantly.

“What?! The employees have vanished?!”

Already in a state of panic, Will Jones was even more shocked by the news.

Seeing his reaction, Old Madam Jones quickly asked in surprise, “You didn’t know? Then why are you so flustered?”

At this point, Will Jones had also come to his senses and hurriedly said, “This is big trouble. Just now, I received several calls from suppliers who said they wanted to cancel the contracts and demand that we compensate for their losses.”

What?!

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones was shaking all over, and the phone in Will Jones’s hand rang again.

“See, speak of the devil and he shall appear.”

Will Jones looked tormented and anxious. He steeled himself and answered the call.

As expected, this was another supplier wanting to terminate the cooperation.

“What on earth is going on?!” Old Madam Jones was near tears, looking completely lost.

Will Jones gave a deep sigh, then turned to look at Snowden Jones. “Snowden, everything’s okay with our distributors, right? If they call, you must calm them down!

We absolutely cannot have anything else go wrong with the distributors, or it will be the end for our Jones family!”

On hearing this, Snowden Jones snapped out of her daze. But just then, her phone rang again.

“Dad! It’s the distributor!” Snowden Jones said, picking up her phone as if she were holding a bomb, her hands trembling like leaves.

Will Jones frowned deeply, his voice heavy, “Answer it! Remember, we have to calm them down. Tell them everything is fine with the Jones family, that there’s no problem.”

Snowden Jones nodded and put the call on speaker.

“Hello…” But before she could continue, a tirade erupted from the other end of the line.

“What the hell is going on with you Jones people!? Huh!? You cause such a big mess and don’t even inform us? How long are you planning to deceive us?

With such a big problem, now no one in the market dares to buy your Jones products.

I’ll tell you this, we’re not done here. All future partnerships will be cancelled and you’ll have to compensate us for our losses!”

Whoosh!

Snowden Jones shivered. She was about to explain, but the other party didn’t even give her a chance before hanging up.

Then, Snowden Jones’s phone started ringing non-stop, one call after another from different distributors. All had the same message — they wanted to return goods and cancel partnerships.

Several of the distributors even planned to come directly to the Jones Family to dispute the situation.

For a moment, the entire Jones family was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair.

Overnight, the Jones family lost everything!

Snowden Jones collapsed on the ground, dazed, while Old Madam Jones didn’t feel any better.

“We can’t just sit here waiting for disaster to strike. They’re coming here soon.

The Jones Family must stand our ground!” Old Madam Jones said emphatically.

Then, Old Madam Jones looked at the listless Snowden Jones. “Snowden! Hurry! Call Jacob Bright, ask him to come over.

We can’t rely on the Cooper family now. At this moment, only the Bright Family could calm down the distributors, only they could save us.

Go ahead, tell Jacob that if he can help the Jones Family tide over this crisis, we would be willing to give away 20% of our stocks to you as dowry! Hurry, call him! Hurry up!”
